Hey RoccoFan,
Very insightful. Now, crawl back behind the reality distortion field and snuggle up with the fanbois.

What continues to be quite disturbing to me is the unique desire by tech fans to see the collapse of competition and the appointment of a monopoly. For years, Wintel fans wished Apple, AMD and Linux would simply go away, leaving Microsoft and Intel as the desktop's sole survivors. Ironically it was Microsoft that saved Apple, knowing that a collapse of Apple would lead to a government enforced breakup of Microsoft. So here we go again - RIM, Nokia, HP, Samsung, HTC et al - should simply go away so that our only choice for our smartphones and tablets is Apple. These same fanboys and journalists expect fierce competition for their mobile service, ISP and even fast food restaurant dollars. Not so for their tech dollars. For their technology dollars, a monopoly just feels right. It is not 7-inch tablets that are DOA, it is a truly competitive and healthy tech market that is DOA. Just the way techies like it.

It is easy to fake usability on a single device. I will believe in the Playbook when I see the Playbook available for sale.

RIM Playbook could be a terrific device. Showing Youtube and swiping application icons across the screen made Laz and RIM frankly look silly. It really did. If it performs to a level that can technically compete with the Ipad and still have that business user intimacy\savvy.. Now then it could it be a terrific Business device. It needs apps that are built for business and that means a better than average developer kit... and I don't think they have gotten that figured out yet... well.. they just bought the OS a few months ago... so jury is still out. I think the stock is a buy at 58 to 65. It will get hyped up.... and they may deliver.. I am out at 80...

There are some exciting devices on the horizon but the press does not seem interested in discussing the basics:
1)Does it have an AMOLED display
2)Does the screen have Gorilla glass
3)Is the battery user replaceable?
4)Is there USB?
5)Is there a port for SD/microSD?
6)What are the specs on the internals?

It would take a lot of improvements for a RIM device to go much beyond email, but I always prefer more competition.
